Yes, it does, as you can easily test by suing to root and running gedit. > And if you take your fat head out of your ass and look upstream you will > see every bug files against wayland regarding the problem of running > graphical applications with sudo has been closed as either not a bug or > wont fix. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91071 is not. Neither is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789867 And there it is noted that wayland does not explicitly allow or deny root applications. > On the forums, we would ban him for a period of time, 1-3 months > depending on his behavior.

You banned me permanently one time because I dared to point out that you incorrectly closed another user's thread for breaking the rules when he did no such thing. > reference 32 is here https://lwn.net/Articles/517375/ This talks about weston not having to be run as root; not disallowing client applications running as root. > The blog is here http://mupuf.org/blog/2014/02/19/wayland-compositors- > why-and-how-to-handle/ This talks about having weston be able to isolate different clients from interfering with one another.

What I have done is point out that this misconception that disallowing root applications is not true; that gdm fails to perform its job as described by its man page. This therefore is, ipso facto, a bug, whether or not you agree with the terrible user facing consequences it has. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Edubuntu Bugsquad, which is subscribed to italc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713313 Title: Unable to launch pkexec'ed applications on Wayland session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/backintime/+bug/1713313/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs Post to : edubuntu-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
